“O gather up the brokenness, And bring it to me now
The fragrance of those promises,
You never dared to vow
The splinters that you carry, The cross you left behind
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
And let the heavens hear it, The penitential hymn,
Come healing of the spirit, come healing of the limb
Behold the gates of mercy, In arbitrary space
And none of us deserving, the cruelty or the grace.
O solitude of longing, Where love has been confined
Come healing of the body, Come healing of the mind
O see the darkness yielding, That tore the light apart
Come healing of the body, Come healing of the mind
Come healing of the reason, Come healing of the heart
O troubled dust concealing, an undivided love
The Heart beneath is teaching
To the broken Heart above”
— Come Healing, Leonard Cohen
Thank you for the Leonard Cohen poem. I really needed that today. It was perfect for what I am feeling today.
That is nice to hear..
